Awhile back I posted about how mom made popcorn balls long ago with molasses.I guess it depends on how much time you have or the taste that you like. Now days we make them so much easier. Popcorn balls so fast you will want to make many batches.

Microwave a large size bag of popcorn. Let set while you do the next step. Sometimes I do several bags so I know I have enough popcorn.

Microwaving a bag of mini marshmallows in a large bowl with 6 Tablespoons of butter is pretty simple. Anyone who has made rice krispie treats knows this step. Melt them for about 2 minutes or until the mixture can be stirred and all the marshmallows are melted. (This is where I add food color..red and yellow make them orange). Let it cool a little bit.

Smear butter on your hands or spray your hands with cooking spray and proceed to pour the popcorn into the large bowl. Stir it well and make into balls. This recipe will make at least 6 to 8 balls depending on the size. you can add candy corn, M&M’s, sprinkles or any candy you like to the sticky outside. Decorate them if you like. Wrap these in wax or plastic wrap.

THE local views around here fascinate me as I have not lived in a community near the water before. I love the ocean or any lake view but just had never had the chance to stay there for any length of time. Locals are mostly fishermen this time of year. The tourists have left for the season and many fine motels and hotels just close up for the winter.

Fall is truly beautiful around these parts. You don’t have to go far to see it.

MY PHILOSOPHY

I am a firm believer that you are, where you are supposed to be and who you are supposed to be the minute you were born. Part of GOD's Plan for us all.. he doesn't make mistakes so that is just that! I dont look back and wonder, I instead look ahead and be grateful to be alive and wonder what is yet to be.
